Unfortunately not. This is where one needs sighted assistance at work. Is there such a scheme in Ireland? Like a Reader. There is in UK BUT i have never worked in Ireland. Eleanor -original message- Subject: [vip_students] about reading hand written documents From: "Seoirse Neilan" <seoirsen@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: 10:02:2009 9:11 pm Hi all, I know that scanners only read typed documents, but, does anyone know if there is a method, how a jaws user like myself, can go about reading hand written letters and documents etc ? Say for example, if i was working in an office, is there a way as to how i could go about reading such letters, pamphlets and literature etc ? I would very much appreciate it if anyone has any ideas how to overcome this situation. Thanks in advance, Seoirse
